The content might be garbage but the tactics are smart.

People do pick up and read things and it's a way of connecting with people.

If we want reasonable candidates to win then we need to push media that gives those candidates and stories a voice.

I know. It’s scary. Cunning. Deceptive. But it works.

I haven't read the paper to know whether or not it's deceptive, but I don't find political rags particularly cunning or scary.

Are there any liberal or progressive presses that you think should be highlighted or supported?

Edit: Uh... why would I be downvoted for asking about a liberal paper? Are you people insane? We will lose this election if we just try to silence anyone who points out the obvious. Man, this was happening with Hillary before Trump won. Watch out, people. Just trying to say "lalala they're so bad and we aren't" doesn't win elections. Smiley is out there in full force. Don't take anything for granted.

People only want to know who’s on their side on the important issues such as inflation, crime, homelessness, abortion

Correct. By reading that propaganda rag, they'll realize that it's definitely not republicans that will solve that issue.
